This is a joke. I&#39;ve called all of our current doctors to determine whether they will accept Avmed, PHCS. Only one out of five doctors our family visits will take Avmed, PHCS, although all are listed in the PHCS extended network under the Avmed, State of Florida Portal. <br />
The Avmed extended network list is false and misleading. State workers are going to pick Avmed thinking their doctor will accept it when in most liklihood they won&#39;t.<br />
Can you just imagine being in the midst of a terminal/serious illness and discovering you can&#39;t continue to see your oncologist any longer. It is so disappointing that public servants who have served the citizens of Florida for years are being treated with such disregard and disrepect.</p>myrtisdavis commented on 'Bid protest holds up HMO contracts for state workers'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2014e8b56fe45970d2011-09-07T06:03:09Z2011-09-07T06:03:09ZmyrtisdavisStarting this year your child (or children) cannot be denied coverage simply because they have a pre-existing health condition.

<p>Starting this year your child (or children) cannot be denied coverage simply because they have a pre-existing health condition. If you don&#39;t have insurance for you and your children search &quot;Penny Health&quot; online they are the best.<br />

He &quot;says&quot; he wants people to have choice in health care, but when it comes to state workers he takes their choices away. But then he says he is against Obamacare because it takes choice away from people. What a joke for a Governor.</p>
